Damascus and pig wharni

[2Tim215]

Hi all

One I finished up last night.
OAL = 170mm
Blade = 75mm x 19mm x 3.5mm
230 layers 1080/15N20

This was made for a BB member. But when BB vanished I not only panicked, my hands started shaking from withdrawal. So I thought I would share it here I am a full time maker from SA but am not a maker member here so if inappropriate then pls remove.

Thanks for looking
Tim

Sweet knife - when you say "pig" - boars tusk?

 

[Steel Nutter]

Very handsome that mate !

 

[2Tim215]

Thanks all. Comments always appreciated.
Yep, Bush pig to be exact and this was one BIG pig coz usually the tusks don't make a full scale.

Lovely bit of kit - I do like tusk as a material.

Far too good a knife for me though - I do horrible things to knives

If your life is dull 99% of people have no chance at all Your Homestead posts are inspirational for many, I think!
